*/Disease Information (sort of like the Intro to your Mini Research Write up):Pneumonia is an infection that affects the lungs and can result in mild or severe illness. There are various causes of pneumonia; viruses, bacteria, or fungi. Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is the bacterial cause of pneumonia, and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase is a protein involved in the synthesis of (R)- mevalonate from (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase. The mevalonate pathway is an essential metabolic pathway in eukaryotes and bacteria, and is responsible for the production of isoprenoids such as, cholesterol, heme, vitamin K, and steroid hormones.
Essentiality of this protein: The enzyme HMG-CoA reductase is an important factor in the mevolanate pathway which is found in various bacteria, eukaryotes, and archaea. The function of the mevalonate pathway is the production of isoprenoids such as, cholesterol, heme, vitamin K, and steroid hormones. Therefore, this pathway is often inhibited to reduce the production of cholesterol, similarly the inhibition of this pathway can eliminate the production of isopernoids produced by the Streptococcus pneumoniae R6 bacteria and kill it. HMG-CoA reductase is a key factor in the mevolante pathway as it synthesizes (R)- mevolante, inhibiting this enzyme would break the pathway and help reduce the effects of the bacteria or oil it altogether. Certain bacteria contain another pathway for isopernoids creation such as E. coli and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, however this is not found in Streptococcus pneumoniae so it would be effective.

The prevalence of Streptococcus pneumoniae R6 necessitates various drug options due to antibiotic resistances.
